Emergence of artemisinin-resistant <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> with <em>kelch13 </em>C580Y mutations on the island of New Guinea (Publications)
nt Plasmodium falciparum carrying the C580Y mutation in the kelch13 gene is a growing threat to malaria elimination in Southeast Asia, but there is no evidence of their spread to other regions. We conducted
